Lift options

[tom4bren]

You can see my lift in my gallery (last time I tried to post a pic in the thread, Zeus ragged me about the failure so I'm not trying it again).

From what the PO told me it's a 3" Calmini lift on the rear but just the torsion adjustment in the front. The tires are 33x12.50's on some unknown rim with offset from he11. He did some minor fender trimming too.

Im a fan of the 912....look in my gallery for pics of the lift. If you have any questions just pm me if you want.....

Here is mine the day I put in the lift.


And here it is after a few months. This is a good height comparison. Large lift(ASCINDER), no lift(NFPGASMASK), and typical lift(ME).

im not positive how our springs work but i know they are meant to give faster and then slower... or maybe slower then faster.. i forget which anyway they dont compress at a constant rate so adding 2 inch spacers will give you some lift.. but might not give you a full 2 inches

Thanks for all the input. I'm going with the OME 912 coils, the ball joint flip with spacers and torsion bar crank then Rancho 9000xl's.

Question:

Does anyone have any experience with the Calmini heavy duty anti-sway bars? They're over $300.00 (front and back with bushings) or would just using poly bushings on the stock bars be just as good?

Where can I get the best deals on the 912, etc?

Thanks

Rocky Road off road has had the best prices. They are not the fastest though, but many on the board have ordered trouble free from them. Thy have also taken an interest in the VX and started fabbing stuff (rock sliders) for us.
As far as the sway bars, I have been running the stock bars with my lift with no problems.

Do your OME 912 springs feel softer or increase body roll on the street? Also I'm going to use Rancho 9000XL's.

All of the OME Coils are stiffer than stock. They will decrease body roll a little bit.
